Little Things in Nature

Tom Doyle sent in three photos that he took of the small things in nature that are sometimes overlooked. Here's what he wrote:

"I went to Kenridge Farm early yesterday morning and decided to look for some of the little things I pass by every day.

First - I looked around the ponds because sometimes there's sometimes grass breaking the surface, that with its reflection makes nice geometric pattern. I found "Refections on a Pond" after a ten minute search and shot it with a long telephoto to isolate the grass and its reflection on the pond's surface.

Next I saw "September's Thistle" and used a macro lens (close-up) for that.

Last - as I was working on the thistle I noticed a lot of dew covered webs and decided to look for a spider. After looking closely for a while I found this colorful subject posing in the center of his trap and took "Step into my Parlor" using the macro lens again.
